[Request] Unlocked Gigabyte Aorus 15P XD BIOS

[GirKing87]

Hi I have a Aorus 15P XD(i7-11800H, 3070 130W) and I need to have the bios unlocked. Could you help if you’re still modding?

Hi,

I am looking to upgrade to the newest bios for my Aorus 15p XD and I was wondering if someone can support me by unlocking my new bios. NVRAM variables have been disabled.

Hi! I’m trying to fully unlock the my new laptop’s BIOS but I never have done that before. Could you please help me? I try to use the Backup tool but it gives me the 167 error. I already deleted the sec. records from secure boot menu (now it is in setup mode) - I’m not able to fully disable the secure boot in BIOS. Also I disabled the TPM but the error persists. Nevertheless I’ll attach the result file just in case. I aplied the Dump.bat from the known program and revieved the Biosreg file - I’ll attach it here.
Thanks everyone in advance!

Hey, @SeN ,

Did anyone help you with unlocking? I am looking to unlocking my bios too for the same laptop.

I hope you don’t mind if I attach my bios dump here too?

I am trying to unlock my Aero 17 HDR XD. Maybe I can help a little bit. Error 167 indicates that you firstly have to unlock the bios so that it can be flashed.

In principle, here is how to do it: You need to delete security variables in your bios. Then you need to boot RU (it worked for me using a card reader).

Subsequently, you need to unlock the BIOS with RU. See http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/…-issues.812372/ and here [Request] Gigabyte AORUS 15G BIOS unlocked

The key question is where to exactly unlock the bios. This what I still need to figure out in my "own" thread now that I have installed a new bios version so that I am "locked" again: Gigabyte Aero 17 HDR XD (Intel 11 Gen) - Bios Unlock (2)

Hope this helps a little bit.

Bump:)

Same here, looking to unlock my Bios, can’t find a clear step-by-step guide for this model.

Link to my bios file: sendspace .com/ file/ mik2xf (sorry, can’t post proper links)

[SeN]

Hi guys!
@George! Unfortunately not =( Still waiting for that’s not too much information about this model bios unlocking.
@Tiz, Thanks for you help, friend! Working on it with your tips!

If anyone can provide some help , PLZ!

@SeN
Have you already worked around error 167?

You should use the RU.EFI shell to allow writing BIOS to SPI flash.

BIOS Lock VarOffset - 0x1C
Flash Protection Range Registers VarOffset - 0x683
Change 01 to 00
You will find this variable in a store named "PchSetup".

Here’s a useful example of using the program.

Do you fully understand this part of the tutorial?

*** For the Pro's and those who know (BIOS Editing) - General Aptio V Mod Guide ***


If you want to do this mod on your own, or attempt to learn how to do it, here's how it's done in general since all systems are little different.
I will try to provide good detail here in text, but much less images and or walk through, because as mentioned this is mainly for "Those who know"
This type of modifications, apply to many AMI Aptio V BIOS, some are more involved than this, others less, but this is the general idea/method for Aptio V

If you are in the "wanting to learn" category, please do not attempt this without a CH341A flash programmer + SOIC8 test clip cable, for BIOS recovery
Everyone should own a set of these tools anyway, there's no excuse they cost less than $6 total shipped. Order now and wait 3-5 weeks for delivery.
Or pay more and get them shipped faster, or from local sellers, and hopefully they'll arrive long before you ever need them!

For this example, I will be using Mechrevo GK5CN6Z BIOS

1. Open BIOS region in UEFITool NE, Extract AMITSE (PE32 Module) As-Is & Setup (PE32 Module) As-Is
2. Using Universal IFR Extractor attached below, open the setup PE32 module and click extract, this is the Setup IFR output (Human legible text output of the BIOS settings and it's variables)
3. Open the IFR in notepad and copy the highlighted portion of the Form Set ID as shown in the image below, paste this into a saved notepad file you'll add menu info into on next step. This will be our main Form Set ID, how we locate the majority of the menu entries in AMITSE module.


4. Create a new menu.txt file in your work folder. Open and past that ID from step #3 as "Form Set ID"

5. Back to the IFR txt, search and find each menu ID, Main, Advanced, Chipset and so on, there will be duplicates of most, some 3-4 (Boot usually). Using search term "Form: Chipset" for example will help you quickly locate everything. Copy each one and shorten down into manageable and useful info for this mod like you see in my example below. You only need the name of each, and it's form ID, so you will be copying and pasting, then cutting out unnecessary info. Near the top of the IFR, you'll find a set of menu names (Setup, Main, Advanced, Chipset etc) This is the list of the main hidden ones in these BIOS, and this is also the list of menus you see at root of setup module in AMIBCP (So you know later, those are ones to edit in AMIBCP)


Each actual menu ID is circled in red, this is it's Form ID in hex (backwards). This will be used later to quickly ID the lines you want to edit/remove/swap/add etc.

6. Once you have all your menu ID's and info saved into your notepad file, open AMITSE PE32 module in your favorite hex editor, using search for hex terms input your main form set ID and "Find All" Depending on BIOS, you should find 15-30 or so results (Some less, most in the middle of that range, this BIOS has 19)
* Please note * If extracting body resulting file extension = .EFI and to be sure to replace body / If extracting as-is resulting file extension = SCT and be sure to replace as-is
This applies to all the mod-BIOS-files as well, some I included AMITSE As-Is=SCT and some have AMITSE Body=EFI


7. First result usually not anything we need to look at, but go ahead and click through to each result for a quick glace. You noticed the chunks/blocks of several in a row/right after each other correct, and did you catch the menu form ID's too in each one? If not, I've circled them in the below example, so you can now notice where to easily locate them. Once you see this often enough you will recognize immediately. I've also outlined two of the chunks/blocks of ID's I mentioned, these are sets of either available, visible, or hidden menus


8. Make a notation in your menu text where each of these sets of ID chunks is located (Hex address), you should have two, some BIOS three. After that, go back to hex and copy each set of ID's in their entirety to your menu text file. Be sure to select and copy/paste the correct amount of bytes, so each begins with the form Set ID and ends evenly, example image below. Paste each set to their corresponding hex address location in your menu text, then then arrange the hex into neat format like you see in my image example at #5 This makes for easier editing later.


9. Now, lets find the short block list and it's location. Search AMITSE PE32 module for 19 27 (chipset) via hex, we know this one is blocked so it will help us quickly locate the short block list. You should find 2-3 results, if more that's OK (Be sure to uncheck "Ignore Case" in your search box if you can, this will provide less incorrect results). Once you've located the correct one, you'll see several other menu ID's with the 19 27, all in a short row of 3-6 or so ID's. In the image example below, I've circled the short block list entirely in red and each individual blocked menu ID in blue. Copy this blocks starting address (First ID) into your menu text, and then also copy all the contents (just all menu ID's) via hex to the menu text as well like you see in my example at #5


10. Now, your menu txt file should look nearly identical to my example at #5 image, except for the edits at the bottom. Now, edit yours marking which menus at the top area you want to reveal, or hide, or swap and then make an edits section like I've done at the bottom of my #5 example image. Then make your edits there, looking back to the top as needed, whatever you remove fill in exact same amount with 00. Once done, save file with a modified moniker, and you're now done with hex edits.

11. Open BIOS region in UEFITool regular version, replace AMITSE PE32 As-Is module with your modified file.

12. Open modified BIOS region in AMIBCP, go to "Root" of Setup, here you will rename any menus you want to rename, and set Access Level to User. Save BIOS with final modified moniker once you are done, this will be your finished mod BIOS


13. If you are doing this mod for someone else, as long as it's the same exact model and BIOS version, you can extract (As-Is) AMITSE PE32, Setup PE32, and AMITSE/SetupData >> SetupData Submodule from your final mod BIOS and insert into others BIOS regions to do the mod for them. This would be exact same as the mod files linked on this guide. But you must always make sure it's same model and same BIOS version, due to these modules change sizes/contents between BIOS version and definitely do not match between the models.

AMITSE PE32 = your main menu lock/unlocks
AMITSE/SetupData/SetupData = your AMIBCP Access Level changes
Setup PE32 = your AMIBCP textual menu name changes

I basically got stuck in my Aero 17 unlocking thread because I do not fully understand which steps and tools I have to use to find the relevant locations and apply the patches suggested by BDMaster (

https://www.win-raid.com/t9039f54-Request-Gigabyte-Aero-HDR-XD-Bios-Unlock-1.html#msg154416

). It is also not entirely clear to me whether I can directly patch the bios dump produced with ftpw or whether I firstly have to extract a bios module, then patch it and, subsequently reinsert into the dumped bios module (prior to flashing back the now modified module).

Thanks for any help!

@Tiz

Do you fully understand this part of the tutorial?

Yes, after spending a whole evening understanding Aptio BIOS. But I still cannot figure out the 4th version of Aptio. Glad that most of the new devices use the 5th version.

I managed to get around the error 176. I found step by step instructions.

since there is already a post in the forum, I posted it there: #29 | RE: [Request] Bios unlock for Aorus 15p xd

[niccofox]

Hi! Is there anyone here who has experience unlocking Aorus 15P XD bios? Looking to unlock it so that I can utilize 3200mhz ram speed. I’m very noob when it comes to bios. Thanks in advance!

[Xperjo]

Hello there,
I would like to learn how to undervolt my CPU to get more performance but also lower temps. What will I need to do to make that happen?

I just don’t understand the process. I just need a explained process of it.
The way of disabling the settings in the bios is straight forward. But to create the bios unlocked file is the thing I don’t understand.

Thanks in advance


Edit: I will leave some Bios and Intel ME info

I will just like to know the files I need and the steps to do so.

Edit 2:

I used CSME System Tools v15.0 r13 with that I could dump my bios

So I follow first a YouTube Video to backup my bios and then I reflashed

I changed the name of the file that’s why it is different.

I did not changed anything inside the bios such as all BIOS passwords, disable secure boot, and disable TPM or Encryption

It did work without changing that. Do I need to do it anyways? Just to be sure

@Xperjo
Hello there, I will try to mod your bios, but keep in mind that the bios could be rsa signed, that means that any change to the original rom will result in a brick, I highly advise you buy an spi programmer to flash stock bios in case of any brick

[Samuka]

@Xperjo
I modded you bios, increase tpl1 and pl2 values and time, reduced voltage by 50 mv, disable bios guard and other locks. Again, I recommend using spi programmer.

Hi there

Somebody already modded my bios Thanks for your effort !

But to what value will you put tpl1 and tpl2 ?
I got my voltage to minus 68 with Throttestop

I got TPL1 to 90
and TPL2 to 115

[Samuka]

@Xperjo
TL1 to 55watts, because of the heat you cant push to much, PL2 100w I belive, with max time 128 secs, 50mv from the core. keep in mind that pl1 is the base wattage of the cpu, the tdp of your cpu is 45 watts, if you put 90w you risk damage your cpu, you have to give the cpu some room to work with

Hello, help me update and unlock the BIOS on the AORUS 15P XD (Intel 11th Gen) laptop, now the BIOS version is (FE02) and I want to update to the version (FB07). Tried like in this thread: ([Request] Bios unlock for Aorus 15p xd - #3). But failed to unlock. I ask you for help. Thanks in advance)

[kev1]

Hello all, I’m trying to mod the bios on my Aorus laptop with an 11th gen Intel processor. just so I can do some undervolting to cool it down and tinker with the ram speeds. I did some research on this forum and came across this cool little script:

Aero and Aorus 11th gen BIOS Unlock.zip

I decided to give it a shot and I was able to walk through the steps and it seems like its really close to working but ends in an error message that I’m not quite sure what to do with. (Photos are at the bottom, I’m a newbie so I can only imbed one, hopefully it’s clear enough to read)

I started by going through the Disable BIOSLock option, upper left pic. It created a bootable flash drive and ended with displaying these instructions, the lower left pic.

I booted from the drive and followed everything exactly how is says and got to the grub command line and ended by entering the command and displaying this, the upper right pic.

This is where my first question comes up, after this I just typed the command reboot and went back into windows. Was I supposed to type a different command to actually apply this? Seems like it worked like it should but there was never instructions beyond this.

I came back into windows and started the script back up and ran the second option Unlock Bios. It looks like it created a backup of the bios and a new modded bios, but then when I believe it’s trying to apply, this is the error message that comes up, the lower right pic.

It looks like to me the first step didn’t actually work but I’m not sure. Is there anything obvious here I missed? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!
